LaLiga president Javier Tebas is confident of Kylian Mbappe swapping Paris for Madrid in the summer transfer window.

LaLiga president Javier Tebas believes Kylian Mbappe is likely to join Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Mbappe's contract with PSG ends in June, allowing him to talk to foreign teams. 

Tebas is confident that Mbappe will choose Real Madrid for his next move, turning down clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea and even Barcelona.

Mbappe to Real Madrid all but done?

"I think the percentage is very high, but it's my personal opinion," Tebas said at the Madrid Press Awards.

"Much will depend on how much the president of Real Madrid is willing to bet on him. The club must think that (Jude) Bellingham's arrival has already given them a star to pair with another star like Vinicius, but if the player wants to go to Madrid then that will be the case.

 "The chances are more than 50%."

The prospect of Mbappe wearing the Real Madrid jersey has caught the attention of football fans, and negotiations are expected to unfold in the coming months as the French star explores his options in the transfer market.
